Download Mini Sumo Sketchup files, source code, and pictures

Marius, creator of the fantastic Wall-E robot, has generously shared the design files and source code for the sumo robots his kids put together. It even includes a couple photographs from different angles so you can piece together the bill of materials. If you build one, please share your story in the forums. I know I’ll be reading your words with undivided attention.

Bill of materials is as follows:

• 5x IR reflectance sensor
• 1x Arduino Uno
• 1x stackable DC motor shield
• 1x LCD with 6 button shield
• 2x 50:1 micro motor
• 1x motor mounting bracket
• 1x 6v2200ma battery
• 2x wheel
• 2x analog distance sensor

Maybe instead of 5 ir sensors try this 6-sensor array, save $2.50 and time soldering.
